ENTERTAINMENT: Mike Tyson Has Stated That Jamie Foxx Has Signed on to Play Him in Upcoming Biopic Film / Zaytoven Inks a Partnership Deal With Motown Records

It appears as though Jamie Foxx has signed on to play Mike Tyson in an upcoming Martin Scorsese-directed biopic. As was reported in The Jasmine Brand, the legendary boxer has confirmed such rumors, stating “It’s on, as of right now. Jamie Foxx has signed on for it. Filming hasn’t started yet but it’s going to happen. A lot of people aren’t going to like the things I’ve done in my life.” For those unfamiliar with the life and times of Tyson, the boxer, arguably, has made as much noise outside of the ring as did inside. This, of course, alluding to his 1992 rape conviction and his infamous former “party animal” lifestyle.
Back in 2013, Foxx stirred rumors — citing his potential involvement with the project, in addition to both Scorsese’s and Terence Winter’s association. As of now, both Foxx and Scorsese have yet to confirm Tyson’s latest statement. Be sure to check back for details as they emerge.

As one of the better-known producers in today’s hip-hop landscape, Zaytoven is getting some well-deserved recognition for his talents after signing a new partnership deal with Motown Records. Joining the likes of Lil Yachty, Migos, and BJ the Chicago Kid, the Atlanta-born beat maker will be bringing along his current label, Familiar Territory Records, to the Motown team. Senior vice president of Motown Records Ezekiel Lews said in a statement that he is happy to have the talented producer on his side and wants Zaytoven to flourish under his new roof.

Zaytoven is one of the hottest and most influential producers in hip-hop.
